Don't really know what caused it to be honest. I was beating on the car earlier in the night, but that's nothing out of the ordinary.

When I tried to pull the VSS out of the old casing, I noticed some 'shrapnel' had nicked the collar inside. I tried to round it out by twisting, but when I finally tried to pry it out, it broke off. :explode:

I got an H22 vss from a friend just to plug the hole so I could drive it, then realized the top electrical portion of my original vss bolted right up. Got everything installed and tightened up and went for a test drive. No speedo... :madrun:

You'd be surprised how many things do not work when you have no VSS signal. :eusa_wall:

(wipers, cruise, vtec just to name a few) Imagine my surprise when I punched it at 3k rpm and since the ecu thought I was at 0mph, the car instantly went into launch control mode with a nasty neck-jerking rev limiter...

Ended up picking up a complete H23 vss from a parts yard this morning, and bolted it up. Everything's fine now, and the rebuilt trans shifts like butta after I cleaned out all the super fine metal gunk between the synchros and shift collars. Unfortunately, I missed my tuning appointment. Better luck next time I guess... :sad:

With the exception of a short dinner break, it took me about and hour and twenty minutes to drop the trans from the car. It's disappointing that I'm so experienced at doing that.

not at all dude, im in the same boat. ive done abt 8-9 f series drops between me and my friends
